IRIDIAN specializes in getting materials ready for batteries through well developed processing and testing strategies. We are able to get result through our batch qualification process within 3 weeks to help you iterate and get to a commercializable product quicker.
Real Connections to the Industry
With OEM partnerships and raw material manufacturers as our clients, we can serve as a matchmaker for material solutions. Through IRIDIAN and our partners, we are well experienced with what data the industry is looking for and can help you get that data.
What is Material Qualification?
Material qualification is the process of qualifying material for battery use. At IRIDIAN we offer a streamlined approach to get your raw material into the hands of OEMs.
Materials that are currently available for material qualification are natural graphite, sythentic graphite, or similar materials.
Services
Coin Cells
ICL, reversible capacity, DCIR, basic rate capability, CE, voltage characteristics
When do we use them?
Required for nearly any application.
Demonstrates: material is coat-able, initial electrochemical characteristics compatible with OEM needs
Single Layer Cells
Rate capability, capacity fade, cell resistance, refined modeling inputs, operational voltage range
May be required to show how material performs when paired with a standard LIB cathode.
Multi-Layer Cells
Gravimetric/volumetric energy density, form factor, application-specific cycle life, safety
May be required to show how the material works for specific use cases.
IRIDIAN's Streamlined Approach
